Froome and Wiggins TUEs

[Crackle]

I bet it'll be bland as hell and rubbish.

Only suckers will buy it.

I probably will

We look forward to your treatise on it and photocopy by pm please

I note that the book has a foreword by Sam Allardyce, that notable bastion of sporting ethics with a whiter than white reputation.

Can someone fetch a mop, please? I think this sarcasm is dripping over everything. We need a clean-up crew. Bring whitewash.

I shouldn't think story, albeit about a tennis player, would bode well for Chris Froome’s hopes for leniency.

Another bitter average former rider. Wait, have I used that one already?

Maybe that’s what Froomedog should have said when they passed him that inhaler.

You beat me by nine minutes!

That is f****** nuclear! If I were a lawyer working for Sky I’d be checking out the Ferrari website, because there’s no way they’ll take that. My sympathies are not with Froome, but if ASO wanted to block a rider they should have done it much earlier. There’s nothing new come up that would have changed the situation.

What a coincidence it comes a few days after Hinault sticks his Gallic nose in. Anything to get a home winner, eh?

I did hear hear Lionel Birnie recently on a podcast saying he thought there would be something before the start of the Tour.My only fear is that ride it ot not idls for Froomes safety ect.
For a sidenote im staying with hes not guilty !

Its a nice thought, but Prudhomme is much too canny a businessman to get caught up in Hinault’s testosterone cloud. My theory based on absolutely bugger all is that they’re getting really twitchy about the security of the race and Cinq Zéro have said they can’t guarantee rider safety.
